Quite a decent anime. Has some potential but the pacing is too slow and characters are lifeless. There are scenes that made me wanna skip, and sometimes I would check if the episodes is nearly finished. I managed to bear through it wondering how it would end. At the end of a series, one would usually feel either "ecstatic" or "disappointed" but when I finished this, I didn't feel anything at all despite THAT ending. The ending raised more questions than clear up things. I can understand that they are aiming for a cliffhanger probably in prep for season 2, but would it hurt to answer some very basic mysteries of the series?

In terms of the characters, they are dull and boring. I didnt feel any connection to anyone at all. The cat girl annoyed me. Its irritating for something cute to act overly cute. Its like candy with too much sugar. Also I was hoping that Kusanagi would do something 'spectacular' but no, he just stood around and 'looked cool' til the end. Now shiro is a type of character that you would neither like nor dislike. he's just "ok" I guess. Not outstanding should describe him perfectly. Kuro is fine but I feel like he's a stereotype long haired stoic character. Someone like Kanda Yuu from D.Grayman. I've seen a lot of his types, so far he doesn't have any unique characteristic to set him ABOVE the others. In the end, Mikoto is the sole character I deem memorable in this series though he's pretty much stereotype himself.

the plus side is:
1. Bishies
2. Do i detect shonen-ai hints?
3. Mystery factor is what kept me going - the ending disappointed me though, it wasn't because it was a sad ending, but because, despite having "such" an ending, I remained unaffected and detached from the characters and storyline. Still, I'm looking forward to watch the second season hoping to see developments from the story.
